RE: Questions About jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28
Hi, Check out the Context element documentation for 5.0. You create a new file now that configures your context, and don't add them to server.xml. You can do this in a number of ways,. e.g /yourwebapp/META-INF/context.xml /conf/Catalina/localhost/yourwebapp.xml But it's all there in the docs in the configuration section. Come back if you need more help after reading those. Cheers, Allistair. -Original Message- From: Scott Purcell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 March 2005 14:09 To: tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org Subject: Questions About jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28 Hello, I am running Tomcat 4.1.31 at work (dev) and I have a 5.0.28 at home.

RE: Questions About jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28
Yes, the documentation is not as clear as it could be; however, Allistair: How does this differ from my Context.../ in server.xml to get Tomcat to recognize webapps outside of $CATALINA_HOME? Certainly Context.../'s are still relevant in server.xml, so perhaps I misunderstand this exchange, and there needs to be clarification on the TYPES of Context.../'s we're talking about in each case?

RE: Questions About jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28
According to the question, the poster wanted to know how to configure a context in TC5.0. Taking the context element copied in at the foot of this email, this should be copied out into a file at $CATALINA_HOME/conf/[enginename]/[hostname] which is usually $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/ and given the name of the webapp e.g $CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost/mywebapp.xml Nothing needs to change with respect to what he has in the file. In terms of getting it looking at a whole webapp structure outside of Tomcat, you change the path attribute to point to it Context path=/builder docBase=c:\mywebapps\builder debug=5 reloadable=true crossContext=true ... I am not entirely sure, but the reason for all this I believe ties into the deployer management tool if you like to use that. The configuration of web apps is no longer bundled into the server configuration which is a good thing. Note the above will not work per se in Tomcat 5.5, there are further changes to that A. -Original Message- From: Matt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 01 March 2005 14:20 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Questions About jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28 Yes, the documentation is not as clear as it could be; however, Allistair: How does this differ from my Context.../ in server.xml to get Tomcat to recognize webapps outside of $CATALINA_HOME?
